[All_staff] Message from Acting Director, Bob McKeown

[Pat Stroop]

All Staff,

As you are aware, the lab continues to operate under a continuing 
resolution, currently extended through the end of April.  This means our 
operating funds are limited to the FY16 appropriation. You have all 
contributed to our efforts to spend wisely so we can meet our 
obligations and maintain a viable and productive science program.  To 
keep our programs moving forward during this challenging period we have 
decided to delay the planned annual merit increase and promotion cycle.  
If and when a Federal budget appropriation is enacted for FY17 we may 
reevaluate this decision. We do not take this decision lightly, we 
understand the need to reward members of our staff who are contributing 
to our success and we trust you will understand this action is in the 
best interest of the Lab as a whole.

Bob McKeown
Acting Director
